nxt lvl posted:In the age of high school football players Tweeting out each and every offer they get even AFTER they sign, I applaud the young man. Many kids would pull out of their commitment and choose a "better football program" over a better school. This kid or his parents see the true value of an Ivy League education and decided against chasing the fantasy as a roster fill out on a national championship perennial contender.
An Ivy League education will get a person a lot of contacts to advance their career, and that's really about the only advantage they have over many other colleges.
In some ways an ivy education can be a detriment to a person's overall understanding of the world and of morality.
A lot comes down to what a person finds to be ultimately important.
FTR: I don't find football to be ultimately important either.
